Once again I picked this up completely on a whim because I needed an audiobook to read while unpacking. Personally I don't like rating memoirs so I'm not going to but I really enjoyed this. Of course I know who Jazz Jennings is and the basics of her story but I love listening to this. Like I said I picked it up to listen to while unpacking and even when I wasn't unpacking I laid in bed and listened to this because I loved it so much. I loved how casual it felt and it really felt like I was just listening to a friend. This is a great short memoir to read if you're looking for something like it!

Great book for teens to learn more about this struggle. Excellent empathy/sympathy builder. I can see it being useful to other trans teens and kids as well as their parents.

This book was another great perspective from a transgender person. Jazz is heartfelt in her stories, painfully relatable, and seems like a wonderful person just in general.
She walks a really wall defined line between gratitude for her home life, and being realistic about what she’s unfairly had to put up with because of her gender experience.
I found her memoir to be funny, heartbreaking, and genuine, and I look forward to seeing what she does in the future.

This memoir by teenage trans activist Jazz Jennings gives a full-life view into the experiences of (one) transgender teen. I found reading about another teen trans activist very interesting, especially since Jazz came out and transitioned so much younger than most of us. Her writing was relatively simplistic, but what can you expect from a teenager that's not exactly a professional writer? That being said, Jazz's writing was much better and easier to read than other teen writers I've read, so props to her. I would recommended this book to both cis (non-trans) and trans people of pretty much any age, teen and up, that wants to get an idea of what it's like to be transgender, though I would keep in mind that this is a very privileged experience! (Just saying.)
